[Bug 461419] Re: [Karmic Lucid] Atheros AR5211 - ath5k driver connection and performance issues

[Prunus dulcis]

Thinkpad X41 Tablet
Installed the compat-wireless package (from end of May). It now takes minutes instead of seconds to connect to the wireless network (and therefore several manual retrials) - error message is simple try1-3 and then timeout.

After a few minutes the connection suddenly works usually and then the
dmesg output gets really strange with several  cfg80211: World
regulatory domain updated: - messages, I don't understand and never saw
before.

The good part is, the connection is stable (at least the applet does not
indicate a reconnection) but the connection still comes to a halt
sometimes (once or twice a minute usually for a few seconds) - it feels
better, anyway, thanks for that work!

System-upgrades (like today with open-office-updates) lead to time-outs
in the update-GUI nontheless. So still not entirely there but it is
finally at least getting a bit better since the connection does not drop
out anymore.

I attached an example of the dmesg log.
